  • Banning words, or trying to reframe them as bad has never worked.

    The banned words only get more power by virtue of being banned.

    It just pushes people to use different words that end up with the same meaning.

    Like "N-word" is the new n-word. Childish and useless.

    And then there's the whole thing where we let racists define what words mean... They ruin everything they can, so there's no safe place to go to.

  • Old enough to remember when the promise of pay-tv was "tv without commercials"

  • I'd pay to get Meta out of my VR

  • See, right off the bat I'm like "wow, I didn't know the Russians did the same thing as the British with the potato famine"

  • In the end, all you do is make them a martyr and propel us faster into war.

    I think the lesson they learned from the martyrs they created in the 60s (King, the Kennedys) is that it's much easier and just as effective to assassinate character. And it's mostly legal.

    "The best-known event associated with The Catcher in the Rye is arguably Mark David Chapman's murder of John Lennon in 1980.[14] Chapman identified with the novel's narrator to the extent that he wanted to change his name to Holden Caulfield. On the night he shot Lennon, Chapman was found with a copy of the book in which he had written "This is my statement" and signed Holden's name.[15] Later, he read a passage from the novel to address the court during his sentencing.[16] Daniel Stashower speculated that Chapman had wanted Lennon's innocence to be preserved by death, inspired by Holden's wish to preserve children's innocence despite Holden's later realization that children should be left alone.[16]

    "After John Hinckley Jr.'s assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan in 1981, police found The Catcher in the Rye in his hotel room.[17] Hinckley's possession of the novel was later dismissed as an influence, as a half dozen various other types of books were also discovered in his possession.

    "Robert John Bardo, who murdered Rebecca Schaeffer, was carrying the book when he visited Schaeffer's apartment in Hollywood on July 18, 1989 and murdered her."

    Two carried it, one had it back in his hotel room. And all 3 were in the 80s.

  • They were freelance contract jobs, and I haven't seen anything that easy in a long while 😒

  • It was fairly basic, just analyzing audio tracks and extracting the dialogue from them to text. Simple stuff for AI now.

  • They got you too, huh

  • If by mature he means more looting, then yeah

  • I did some AI training a couple of years ago. Turned out I trained the AI to do what I was doing.

    Fool me once...

  • You mean a Republican president

  • You know there have already been multiple articles of impeachment introduced during the second Trump regime, and they have all been slapped down by the Republicans, right? I mean, I wonder where you guys think these impeachments are going to come from under a Republican-controlled Congress.

    Democrats managed to pull off two impeachments last time-- which the Democrat anklebiters always ignore-- and this time the Republicans are even a lower class of reprobates than before.

  • ..."again"

  • As you're an anarchist I would think you wouldn't need me to tell you not to tell me what to do

  • Record them threatening to kill you and then have them arrested for making terroristic threats

  • He put his money just down and a little left from where his mouth was

  • Too bad all the people I'd like to say "told you so" to I've already purged from my life

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world

    What the heck is it about this pic? Why does it look so familiar?
